No. Presidents have been sworn in using the Bible or similar book while taking the Oath of Office. John Quincy Adams used a law book, and Theodore Roosevelt did not use a Bible when he succeeded William McKinley in 1901. Lyndon Johnson used a Catholic missal aboard Air Force One after the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
There has never been a US president who was a practicing Moslem, so the Koran has never been used to swear in the President.

What does president-elect mean?
It means the person won the election but they have not yet been sworn into office. Barack Obama won the election so he is currently President-elect but he cannot yet take any official actions as President. He will be sworn in on January 20, 2009 at which point he officially becomes President and assumes all the powers and responsibilities of that office.
Can a notary public swear in a president?
Theoretically, yes. Notaries have the authority to administer oaths within their state of commission. Since the president is always sworn in at the White House, only a Notary Public of the District of Colombia could swear him in. The presidential oath has only been administered once by a notary, for Chester Arthur, by his father who was a notary public. However, there was some debate as to whether or not a state notary had the authority to swear in a federal official, and so the oath was readministered by the chief justice upon Chester Arthur's return to Washington. So the issue has never been really established, but in theory, since a notary has authority to administer oaths within his or her state for any purpose, the president could be sworn in by a notary.
